About this opportunity

Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) 26-RFQ-008 seeking wireline Ethernet or fixed wireless services for multiple county locations across Washington state, including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties. The procurement targets network connectivity services for various state agency sites, with specific requirements for network installation, bandwidth, and technical configurations. Vendors must possess a signed Network Services Agreement and the applicable Wireline Ethernet or Fixed Wireless Technical Addendum to participate in the solicitation. The RFQ includes a comprehensive evaluation process that will award points based on cost (lowest price), installation timeline (shortest interval), and local loop type, with fiber receiving the highest points (40), followed by fixed wireless (20), and copper (10). A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for October 17, 2025, via Microsoft Teams, with final proposal responses due on October 29, 2025. Contractors must provide detailed pricing information, including non-recurring costs (NRC) and monthly recurring costs (MRC), with a total base price calculated as NRC + 24*MRC. The solicitation requires precise technical specifications for each site, including bandwidth requirements ranging from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, specific equipment placement, and site access protocols.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement covers 10 specific site locations across various Washington state agencies, including the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), Washington State Patrol (WSP), and Department of Ecology (ECY). While specific budget ranges are not comprehensively detailed, the cost model suggests a comprehensive evaluation of network service installations with varying technical and geographic requirements. The solicitation allows contractors to bid on individual sites, with WaTech planning to select an Apparently Successful Vendor (ASV) for each location. The procurement process includes mandatory requirements such as background checks, specific installation intervals (mostly 150 days), and detailed technical configurations including multi-VLAN setups and precise equipment specifications. Contractors must provide supplemental bandwidth pricing and comply with all mandatory technical and procedural requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
